It was an English king a number Of CEN
turtles ago who first made Q remark about tho
garter. that useful article Of feminine attire.
which lifted It from the sphere Of ordinary
utility to q realm OF poetry and sentiment. It
was in q crowded ballroom in the kings own
palace. and he was dancing with q beautiful
lady Of the court While tripping over the
polished floor with her noble companion, the
buckle Of the lady's garter became unfastened
and It fell on tho floor. 1t was done almost be-
fore she was aware Of II. and the crowd OF friv-
olous g~allants, whose eyes had naturally fol-
lowed the movements Of their lord and master.
and those Of tho beautiful lady on his arm.
crowded around In an unseemly manner to
witness the lady's discontinue. But the king
only frowned upon their lack OF politcness,
and with courtly grace and Gentlemanly dig
nifty he stopped and picked up the garter and
returned 1t to its fair owner with this appro-
pirate remark:
'Honi soft qui NAL y pense" SHANE to him
who evil thlnksl.
From that time forward the garter was consid-
cred as something more than q mere piece OF
wearing apparel. and the Order OF the Garter.

The Michigan State Board of Health has
received information from DR.. Sifton,
Health officer OF Sutton's Bay township.
which illustrates, in q striking way, how
this country gets contagious diseases from
the old countries. October 2, 1857, a family
arrived in Sutton's Bay, Leelanaw county.
direct from Norway. The family came
over in the steamship OHIO, of the Inman
line, reaching New York September 80.
Scarlet fever was on board the steamer
during the passage. one child dying before
the landing, and several more were sick in
the same way. One child ofthis family was
taken sick with scarlet fever the day after
reaching New York. The family, however.
proceeded over the New York Central and
t1e Lake Shore & Michigan Southern TO
Michigan; then over the Detroit. Grand
Haven & Milwaukee and the Grand Rap
ids & Indiana 10 Traverse City; then TO Sut-
tons Bsv. Another child has since come
down with the disease. The family had a
certificate, signed oy the surgeon OF the
steamer. that they had been protected By
vaccination against smallpox; so they
passed without detention the quarantine
